How to remove soldering iron tip?
I just unboxed my NEW Fixhub. Everything seems to work fine except for....
Is there some form of release for the tip? I saw a guy on line just pull it straight out. Mine doesn't do that. It doesn't rotate around or move in any way.

I took a micro fiber cloth, wrapped it around the end of the iron towards the handle and a SMALL pair of pliers and gently twisted the tip. It slowly came out. It came out with some fine white powder on it. I used some BW-100 and the micro fiber cloth to clean the iron.
I used a cotton swab and some BW-100 to clean the female end of the handle.
I repeated this procedure several times. I can now take it out by hand.
I did notice some scratches that kind of look like lathe marks just to the right of the "T" in IFIXIT on the iron. I don't know if that is normal.
I ordered two additional tips. I'll check them out to see if they have scratches on them.
